How can the travel time be the same?

anonymous · Answer

Its not the same. It is the TOTAL time for both trips.

anonymous · Answer

$$Rate  of Monday *Time of Monday = Rate of Tuesday * Time of Tuesday$$

anonymous · Answer

$$Time Monday + TimeTuesday = 15$$

anonymous · Answer

$$t=\frac{d}{r} $$Solve the following for d, the distance:$$\frac{d}{40}+\frac{d}{60}=15 $$$$d=360 \text{ miles} $$
